The Epiphany // (Jungkook x Reader)✅

De-orbiting

Y/N's POV

"I can't do this anymore, Archie."
I never realized that saying this out loud would turn my whole life around.

I have been swaying between holding on and letting go for a long time, and what I have said can't be taken back now.

Something had just snapped inside me, and I stopped feeling a certain way about things. I have had an epiphany that I should love myself.

It would have been our 8th anniversary this December. Archie and I have been inseparable since high school, and I even followed him to university. I was head over heels in love with Archie, and my whole world was centered around him. It was as if he was the Earth and I was the moon, and the only thing I knew was how to revolve around him.

But being with Archie for so many years, all the fighting and arguing, made me realize that I should be the center of my own universe. Why do I need someone else to put a meaning to my existence? And so, I finally took the step that I have been contemplating about.

"I can't do this anymore, Archie.", I said. "You don't understand me anymore. You don't even value the things that are important to me."

"After all this time, you are telling me I don't understand you? The truth is, y/n, that now that I have finally accepted your love, you are just bored. You have a lot of ego in you and you just don't want to bow down to anyone's needs", Archie yelled. He was asking me to stop the blame-game, while putting the blame on me. Oh the irony!!

After a lot of sarcastic comments from Archie, and me trying to not lose my cool while explaining to him, how he doesn't support my career, just because HE THINKS that a girl's career should be limited to a 9 to 5 job because family should be her priority, we ended this.
This mess that we called a relationship. It was now over.

I felt a burning sensation from inside and wanted to cry my eyes out, because this was not how I pictured us. But everything happens for a reason and maybe getting out of this cage was what I was destined for.

I felt like I had been unshackled from the chains. And decided that from now on, my priority would be me.. I would put myself first. I was 25 years old and this was my second chance at life, to live it the way I liked.

I laid down with my laptop, trying to focus on my work, and my favorite song playing as BGM, "Love myself" by one of my favorite artists, Jeon Jungkook. And as I continued working, I saw a pop up on the internet.

"A getaway to the Land of Fire & Ice- ICELAND".

I had always been the kind of girl, who lives by the rules, never stepping out of comfort zone, and I thought that it would be the perfect opportunity for me to begin the new chapter of my life.

After a lot of to-and-fro, I decided to go with the flow, for at least once in my life. And I finally click the button.

"Oh my God", I squealed.

"This is it", my eyes wide open, not believing that this was actually happening.

My panic-stricken hands on both sides of my head, I frenzied, "I am finally going to do this."

The tickets were booked. I let out a laugh mixed with excitement and fear.

"I am going to be my priority from now on", I assured myself.
